Simplification techniques have mainly been applied on static models. However in movie and game industries, many models are designed to be animated. We extend the progressive mesh technique to handle skeletallyarticulated meshes in order to obtain a continuous levelof-detail (CLOD) representation that retains its ability to be animated. Our technique is not limited to any simplification metric, ...

The spatial distribution information of clay layer occurrence depth (CLOD), particularly the spatial distribution maps of occurrence of clay layers at depths less than a certain threshold, in alluvial soils is crucial to designing appropriate plans and measures for precision agriculture and environmental management in alluvial plains. Markov chain geostatistics (MCG), which was proposed recentl...

Linking Open Data (LOD) has become one of the most important community efforts to publish high-quality interconnected semantic data. Such data has been widely used in many applications to provide intelligent services like entity search, personalized recommendation and so on. While DBpedia, one of the LOD core data sources, contains resources described in multilingual versions and semantic data ...

Real-time applications such as computer and video games, virtual reality and scientific simulation require rendering of complex models for realism. Graphics rendering engines include multiresolution modelling techniques to accelerate the visualization process. The Discrete Level of Detail framework (DLoD) is usually the most popular while the Continuous Level of Detail framework (CLoD) is still...

Methylxanthines were quantified in coffee, tea, and chocolate products. Tarajuilie tea from India, cocoa powder, and cocoa nibs contained the highest levels of methylxanthines. Theobromine, caffeine, and theophylline combined in the ratios observed in tea and chocolate were ingested by coyotes. Although both mixtures induced acute toxicity, the symptoms accompanying the chocolate methylxanthine...
